Me in Pieces: Short Stories Adding up to a Full Life

Life is a long journey of starts and stops forming a beautiful puzzle in time. My journey has had many pitfalls along the way. As I struggled to deal with abuse and addiction I learned lessons along the way.Each short story adds up, each sidestep changed me in a different way. But if one piece of this puzzle didn't happen then where would I be now? Would I be happier? Or laying in a ditch? No one knows that answer. We are a collection of puzzle pieces that form a beautiful picture. Little mosaics in time. One piece out of place changes the entire picture. One more brightly coloured distorts everything else.
